This season, he scored a career-low 25 goals, but he only played 41 games due to injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He scored 40-plus goals in each of the three previous seasons and has scored 0.58 goals per game throughout his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For context, all-time leading goalscorer Alex Ovechkin has averaged 0.60 goals per game during his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kaprizov is the X-factor on the Wild&#8217;s roster. The team went 25-13-3 with the electric winger in the lineup and 20-17-4 without him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that has transferred into the postseason. The Wild stole Game 2 in Vegas behind two goals and an assist from &#8220;Kirill the Thrill.&#8221; He also had two helpers in the opening contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Kaprizov was healthy for the whole season, he undoubtedly would&#8217;ve finished near the top of the NHL for scoring. His 0.61 goals per game ranked third behind only Ovechkin and Leon Draisaitl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Including the playoffs, Kaprizov has four goals in three games vs. the Golden Knights this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:112903\">Embed: #112903<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/ice_hockey\/nhl?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nhl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NHL betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nhl-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NHL injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nhl\/top-skaters?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NHL stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NHL prop predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Point anytime goalscorer (+145):<\/strong> Point has quietly been one of the NHL&#8217;s top producers over recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The centreman has recorded at least 40 goals and a point-per-game pace over the past three seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His 42-goal campaign in 2024-25 was actually a down year compared to his 46 and 51 goals the years prior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he still ranked sixth in the NHL in goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tampa Bay Lightning lost their opening game to the Florida Panthers, 6-2, but Point potted one of his team&#8217;s two goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tampa ranked first in the NHL in scoring (3.56 goals per game), so an uptick in offence will be expected in what should be considered a must-win game at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Panthers got some key pieces back (e.g. Matthew Tkachuk) but struggled down the stretch, going 3-7 and allowing 2.9 goals per game over their final 10 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NHL anytime goal picks made at 9:20 <\/em>a<em>.m.
